英语课

Catherine最近工作状况不错,工资待遇个方面都很好,但她没有放弃努力,每天依然学习到很晚。Jenny有些不解,不明白她有这么好的工作,为何还这么辛苦地学习。Catherine说:I have never rested on my laurels 1.


 I have never rested on my laurels.我从不满足目前的成就。


要理解这个习语,首先要从laurel(荣誉,殊荣)说起。laurel本意是”月桂树“,希腊神话中阿波罗的情人达芙妮变成了月桂树,而阿波罗为了纪念她,就把月桂枝编成桂冠戴在头上。所以laurel后来就演化出”皇冠,荣誉“之意。rest on one's laurels字面意思是”取得了桂冠的人躺在桂冠上睡大觉“,引申义就是”吃老本,不思进取“。


【英语情景剧】




Jane:You have gained lots of fruits in your career. You can take a rest now.

简:你已经在事业上取得了很多成绩,现在可以休息一下了。


Shirley:I have never rested on my laurels.

雪莉:我从不满足目前的成绩。
